There is a place in life for planning.  I question whether it is the “absolute necessity ” we are told it is, but I still make plans.

One of the advantages of planning is that it can be like a tuning mechanism, a tuning fork – harmonizing future and the time-based present in enjoyable, uplifting ways.

One of the disadvantages is that it can confine.  Planning – and sticking to a plan – can be an attempt to control.  Planning, by definition, relies on time and space.  These bandwidths can be limiting.  Also, it lives, perhaps, where life is not.

Many a wise teacher has said that life only happens in the Now.  The only reality is the present moment which exists beyond (or behind) mind constructs, from which all planning springs.

What possibilities might we see, what energy might we access if we put down our calendars and dropped into the Now?  Just for now.
